Nintendo UK has today announced release dates for the new colored 3DS XL handhelds. The all new limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL White and a limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Yellow console will no doubt be top of many an Xmas list. What’s neat about the White 3DS XL is that consumers can choose to have either Mario Kart 7 or Super Mario 3D pre-installed.

The limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL White pre-installed with Mario Kart 7 is available in stores from 16^th November onwards while the limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL White pre-installed with Super Mario 3D Land becomes available in stores from 30^th November onwards.

The 3DS XL Pikachu yellow will be available from December 7th but does not come with any pre-installed games.
